It's that time of the year again! With spooky cobwebs and creepy crawlies about, how about warm, tasty pumpkin bread to brighten your day? Easy to make, takes less than an hour from start to finish and tastes great!
I made this bread in mini pans, so I used 1/2 of the original measurements. The measurements shown here would fit a 9x5 loaf pan.
Ingredients: (serves 4)
1½ cups Whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon of salt
1 cup brown sugar
1.5 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pumpkin purée
1 cup applesauce
1/2 Cup egg substitute
¼ cup water (optional)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds
½ teaspoon of salt
1 cup brown sugar
1.5 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pumpkin purée
1 cup applesauce
1/2 Cup egg substitute
¼ cup water (optional)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Coat the inside of a 9"x5" inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Mix together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a large pan and set aside.
- Mix the pumpkin puree, oil (optional), egg substitute, water, and spices thoroughly. Combine your wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing lightly. Fold in the nuts and pour the batter into your prepared pan.
- Bake for about 40 -50 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick or knife in the center of the loaf. It should come out clean.
Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
